I WAS hoping that DB max effort set was a PR by 1. Not so. I really am feeling the effects of the calorie deficit now, and will need to scale back my expectations when it comes to progression while I'm doing this.

The no-arms yoke walk required me to place the bar higher on my back than normal and lean forward more to stabilise it. This produced an accumulation of interstitial fluid at the top of my neck which I've not had happen before, and was quite painful when I later tried the static hold. I was advised that continuing to train yoke today would not be smart.

The forward sled drag was a timed race against Ash, who I beat by over 1 second. Just glad I beat him. I hate that guy.
